[Sir Phoenixx]

It's called a beta demo on all the downloads.

[Vigilante]

Time to see how much my laptop really sucks.

[Shakermaker]

Downloading momentarily. Who is up for a game later on tonight? I'll be on Xfire.

[Ravioli]

12 mins left!!! zomg

[Alan00000]

Dang This Is Awsome!!! Playing Now

[staticprimer]

Played a brief round with bots. It looks absolutely fantastic and runs perfectly. I wouldn't expect any less from epic.

Some screens:

[dekstar]

Man can't wait to play this game. First Timeshift, which I quite liked, and now this. Finally my rig is happy with having a game that looks next-gen instead of being stuck with CSS.

[Reginald]

I still gotta complete Episode 2 and Portal. And MINERVA. And get some decent TF2 hours in. Then play the MoH:A demo. But UT3 will come after that. :E

[ZoFreX]

Have some direct links...

Ok frontlines sucked so I'm gonna download this now. :/

[dekstar]

The bastards on multiplay put a password on the thing and stopped my download. And Gamershell is full at the moment :(.

[Ravioli]

Awesome gameplay, really love it! however the graphics didnt live up to my expectations! Everything on fullest and it STILL doesnt look like in the vids, its so blury etc. And the lack of AA and AF and HDR and all of those things really makes it suck even more. This is all due to the consoles, its a downgrade of the engine so it can be played on consoles, and then its ported to PC...so it doesnt reach the full potential of the engine.

Damnit why cant they fully utilize the PCs power? Not even forcing graphics works...

Either that, or the fact that this is a beta version.......

[EDIT] Woah 1037k/sec for a few secs there

[Gorgon]

i m getting this 2night.

[Lucid]

HOLY ****!

Is it just me or is time going by really fast, or are these demos getting released early as hell?!

God damn, I had a weekend planned too.
Orange Box, CoD4 demo, and now this!

[Ravioli]

The game running on my rig (specs in signature). Slowdowns are just the webcam, not the game.
Everything set on full


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcH-yn2fnQk

[ĐynastҰ]

Runs about the same as me and im only on 2 8800gt s at max and 1280res

ANyway, looks like nobody can get it to look as nice as the videos we've been shown in the past...

but frankly i dont care. Ive never played a faster UT. Its just RIDICULOUSLY face paced. Set the bots to skilled and GOOD LUCK.

Definite buy.

The walker is uber cool too, its like War Of The Worlds all over again.

[Gunner]

It's amazing isn't it? I mean the screenshots we saw last year led us to believe that you needed a super nasa computer to run this game, but it turns out it's very accessible. Gameplay is the same though, but I did like that bridge map with the vehicles. Got a few road kills with the flying thingamajig, it was hilarious.

[Gray Fox]

The game looks amazing, and runs fantastic. It basically puts anything but TF2 to shame, concerning optimization. Certainly other UE 3 games like bioshock, and R6:vegas. They didn't looks this technically good yet ran far shittier.

[TwwIX]

meh
It's basically ut2k4 with a new paint coat.
The hover board and the ability to grapple onto vehicles are a nice addition though.
Straight out of Back to the Future.:)
It even slows down when hovering over water.
I expected no less from epic when it came to the optimization but the graphics are a tad disappointing.
Hopefully the new necris vehicles and the new weapons will add a bit more flare to the game.So far,i am not that impressed.

[Anthraxxx]

ZOMG!!! *creams pants*

I'm gonna go preorder this tomorrow.

Oh, and i played the demo. I love it.

[DEATHMASTER]

The graphics are superb but the buggyness is horrendous.

[elrasho]

yes this game runs smooth even on my rig with the 7600GT but.... does it lower the quality on purpose becasue it looks really bad. Ive got everything on max at 1024*768 and it just looks so bland and dark. Some of the textures are hideous and the gameplay is questionable. Gonna give it another go tomorrow, on the bright side looks like I dont need to upgrade afterall ;-)
Why do all Unreal Engine3 games look crap on PC compared to the Xbox versions?

[golden_fang]

the demo does not have full graphic options enabled so relax.

[DEATHMASTER]

They don't even have settings beyond resolution and like one other thing. I think it's locked on low-med

[Lucid]

They don't even have settings beyond resolution and like one other thing. I think it's locked on low-med

Yeah they do, you can set the texture details and post processing effects and all that.

Look in advanced.

[dekstar]

looked pretty purdy on my rig: 1600x1200, highest everything I could find.

But if it can look better than this in the full game, I'm definately getting it. Gameplay was awesome too, which contributes to it somewhat.

[repiV]

The installer just disappears after the initial loading bar has finished on mine. *sigh*

[DEATHMASTER]

Yeah they do, you can set the texture details and post processing effects and all that.

Look in advanced.
oh ffs I thought I looked there already! Well it didn't make much of a difference but nonetheless, the graphics are well below what they will be in the real version. BETA DEMO.

[Lucid]

My only complaint right now is the net code and the server browser.

NONE OF THE ****ING SERVERS WORK! I joined maybe two that worked but they lagged beyond belief.
God damn.

[DEATHMASTER]

I don't think I'll bother making an online account yet then, thats a widespread problem apparently.

[Somefool]

Can someone explain to me why they have a deathmatch map with a giant tri-pod that fires two giant death rays and seems to take forever to destroy?

I'm surprised they have vehicle CTF, I remember that being a mod for UT2k4.

[Narcolepsy]

Wow, this is unexpected. I love the feel of the game. It's much more explosive than UT2004. But the graphics? A big meh here. There's a lot of detail, but it just looks muddy to me. Maybe my computer isn't up to snuff.

[Lucid]

Jesus, what is with you people and the graphics?
I think they're phenomenal for a game of this magnitude.

Considering I can run it at 1280x1024 with everything cranked up and not even have a single stutter.
I have a AMD Athlon XP 2800+, 7600GT 512mb, and 2gb of ram.

The game looks and plays great.

[Kyorisu]

Because at heart everyone is a graphics nazi. It's a nice change of pace art wise from 2k4 and everyone needs to calm down.

Meanwhile the server browser ****ing fails. What was wrong with 2k4's layout? Why can I not filter servers by name (read: typing server name)? Why does filtering by ping seemingly not work?

0 ping servers
100-400 ping servers
40-100 ping servers

Okay wtf? shouldn't these magical 0 ping servers be at the bottom?

[Acepilotf14]

I get my magical 700 kb/s download rate from being a fileplanet sub.
Yay! 17 minutes!

[DEATHMASTER]

here's a good graphics overview by gamespot on the demo, seems to not make a difference after level 3 for a few things. http://www.gamespot.com/features/6180936/index.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newlyadded&tag=newlyadded;title;1

[shortsite]

I have a major problem with mine I have set mine to medium detail at 800 x 600 the map loads really quickly straight in quite surprised (will give my specs below) and when i go in to the map 3 2 1 i have the fog of war about 2 feet in-game all around me and cant see a dammed thing , any ideas?

My pc at the mo(getting rebuild in 2 weeks time)
2.6 barton core
9600xt256
1 gig of ram
180 sata 1.5 drive

or am i just beign an arse and just upgrade now

[Ennui]

UT3 just came out of left field and convinced me that the Unreal Tournament series can still be salvaged. It's like the original UT but with beautiful graphics. Perfect, so far.

[Remus]

UT3 just came out of left field and convinced me that the Unreal Tournament series can still be salvaged. It's like the original UT but with beautiful graphics. Perfect, so far.

And I'm so glad they are going back to their roots with this one. The original UT was best IMO. I also like the art direction they've taken here, I even like the menu layout:cheese:.

As for the graphics, they look OK as they are, but I'm sure there will be a lot more detail in the full version.

The first map I played, was that DM map in the city, and I can't explain why but in terms of atmosphere and pace it almost felt like Quake3, which is a good thing in my book.

[repiV]

The original UT was spammy, unbalanced and full of bloat though - hopefully this game is not. I really liked UT2K4, it appealed to my Quakeish roots...

Unfortunately I can't install it to find out. Is there any way I can install it without using the installer? :hmph:

[Remus]

The original UT was spammy, unbalanced and full of bloat though - hopefully this game is not.

I don't think you understand what we mean by "more like UT 99". I mean it faster paced, and the weapons are more powerful, not like those puny UT2k4 weapons.

Oh and UT99 > UT2k4 yes I went there

Ah, well more powerful weapons and faster paced isn't a bad thing.

The original UT always struck me as a bit of a noobs game though...remember back to the days when every online gamer played either QuakeWorld or Quake II...then along come the new generation. Quake 3 was the competitive game while UT was the casual gamers' game. Quake 3 is still one of the most popular online games around - moreso than the entire UT series and Quake 4 put together. It's practically perfect from a competition point of view.

[Bakurei]

Awww FFS! Why do all these friggin demos want to install to C first? Fookin Vista takes like 15gb of space :O WAR

[Remus]

Whoa! I just realized you can control the walker in the "HeatRay" DM Map. Moahahah.
I finished a few skirmish rounds using only the walker muehehe. Although fun using it, it's way too strong, it has like 1000 armor.

[Gorgon]

Excellent perofmance with excellent graphics and gameplay, (can't wait for it)

[Unfocused]

How I hate setups that unload all their shit on the C: drive. I don't have ****ing space there! ><

EDIT: Hm, never thought of it before, but I changed the localization of the temp folder. Still, the installer unpacks, I choose to install on the E:\ drive, but then GAY Physics pop-up and UNLOAD THEIR SHIT on the C:\ drive, despite the temp folder being on E:\ now! Duuuh! D: Freed up some space by deleting the previous temp folder on C:\, but when the space goes down to 154MB, the setup terminates, saying it ran out of space. WTF. Mind you, it looks like AGEIA managed to get installed, so the setup should continue to install UT3 itself on E:\ anyway, where there's nearly 5GB of space.

[Bakurei]

Finally got to play a few maps. Yea it's way better than that pansy ut2k4. Weapons do alot more damage, faster movement speed etc.

There are a few things that anoy me. When I try to look up for open servers it finds a lot of them, but I can only join like 0.1% of them. Eventhou the server has a decent ping and it's not full the game won't go past "connecting". The other thing is the fact that the game seemed unplayable with a ping around 60-80, felt more like 300.

[Ravioli]

freakin pwnage, had so many killing sprees

btw how do you control the walker ??? I never see it and all of the sudden someone else has it. Where do i get it? how do i get it? when do i get it? confused beyond recognition.

[Korgoth]

Man I downloaded this demo 3 different times from 3 different places and it keeps stopping during installation, some server error or something wierd like that and It won't fully install, anyone know how to fix, or what I'm doing wrong?

twice over here, 1st time CRC error, second round, failed at .exe modification error. reinstalled it again.

There's a sort of drop zone area for it on the far right side of the map.
Really isn't hard to miss, considering it has all sorts of beacon lights around it.
It's on the Heat Ray map.

yea but that area is empty, nothing there...

[Lucid]

You have to wait for the drop ship to bring it down, it takes about 5 minutes for the walker to be brought down.

[Gray Fox]

The reason it's so shitty online is because there still aren't any dedicated servers.

[Lucid]

And because it's Gamespy.

[Yogibbear]

Can someone tell me if the widescreen in the demo is broken like Bioshock???

Cause I'm pretty sure that the dev's don't know how to use the UT3 engine. As MOHA and Bioshock both have crappy fov's for widescreen. (Exactly the same implementation). So does UT3 fix this? (It should as epic made the engine so they SHOULD know what they're doing)

[elrasho]

Im surprised how well this runs on my rig. ALthough there ar ea lot of things thyve cut from here for example all the bots look the same

[ZoFreX]

WOAH im downloading at 900-1000k/sec

never seen it STAY that high before

[EDIT] Woah 1037k/sec for a few secs there
I got over 5000k from FilePlanet :P

RoboBlitz looked pretty good, I thought?

[Acepilotf14]

That's because it's a demo. They can look different in the full version.

[DEATHMASTER]

Omg my framerate improved a lot once I got the new 163.75 beta drivers.

Yeah it has the same problem, I have to type fov 100.4 in the console every time I respawn. Might be able to change it through the .ini but I haven't tried. It doesn't bother me to bad even on the default fov though.

[venturon]

It's got some pretty quick game play there and there's a lot of player movement, but once you get settled in it's fine. I like the new powerful weapons. I also like that you can grapple onto raptors.

Couple of gripes:

-The server browser and menus are absolutely terrible. Half of the filters don't do anything and there's no region or name filter! Say what you will about UT99s gameplay, but its UI kicks the crap out of thise one.
-The netcode is pretty bad, I get dropped from the VCTF map servers after just a couple of minutes.
-The bots are really really cheap. I don't like to meet a rocket when I turn corners because the AI knew I'd be there.
-What the hell is a walker doing on a DM map?

[Wanted Bob]

Really liked the game, though it is very similar to previous UTs. The graphics are very nice, but I am having performance problems, regardless of what I set the settings to. AND its offline! Maybe I am messing up somewhere, but I should be able to run 1280x1024 on max with my rig.

On to the CoD4 demo now!

[ktimekiller]

it runs playable on my PIECE OF SHIT 2.2 ghz pc 1 gig ram and 9800 pro pc

[Uriel]

Omg my framerate improved a lot once I got the new 163.75 beta drivers.

Thanks for the info, mine works a lot better now too.

[Krynn72]

Anyone know why my graphic settings are not staying when I exit the game?

When I installed it, the game defaulted to lowest settings (ie: 640x480, texture and world detail lowest, 50% screen rendering etc). I change the settings up, it tells me i have to restart the game for the changes to take effect, so I do, but when I check the settings, they're all reset back to the lowest again.

I can change the resolution without restarting, but the game still looks like ass.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/turkeyslapper/wtfgfx.jpg

[Tyguy]

Im assuming you're hitting "apply", right?

Mine reverted once, but I changed them back without having to exit again...

[DarkSin]

Set the screen percentage to 100%, will look much better.

[Seth064]

In regards to people saying about blurryness....

UT3 detects your computer's hardware and very aggressively configures the game for performance.

If you're experiencing blurry graphics, lots of jagged edges, and your system meets or exceeds our recommended system specs, it's possible this automatic configuration is the culprit.

You can override these detected settings by going to the Advanced Video options in the UT3 demo. You can access these settings by:

- Select Settings from the Main menu
- Select Video from the Settings menu
- Select the Advanced button on the Video Settings screen

Screen Percentage: The most likely reason for an overall low visual quality. If set to 50, for instance, and UT3 was running at 1280x960, the actual image quality would be comparable to 640x480. Set the slider to 100 to force the game's resolution to the resolution your game is actually running at. In the example above, this would mean the image quality at 1280x960 would actually be 1280x960.

Texture Detail: Determines the quality of the textures applied to the world.

World Detail: Determines the complexity of the geometry used to render the world.

BTW does it annoy anyone else at the fact that you cant Dodge/Jump like in UT2k4?

[Teta_Bonita]

Set the screen percentage to 100%, will look much better.

This man speaks the truth.

[venturon]

BTW does it annoy anyone else at the fact that you cant Dodge/Jump like in UT2k4?

No. If I want crazy movement I'll go play CS surf or QIII.

[Lucid]

Not really, I never used dodge or double jumping anyways.

[Gray Fox]

Wait what I can dodge and double jump.

[StardogChampion]

Downloading now. Someone post some high-res all bells & whistles screenshots please.

[Qonfused]

Hmm, this looks like I might be interested to buy when this is released...

[TCfromBN]

You most certainly can dodge.

How do you put in your email address in if the @ key brings up the fecking console?

[Remus]

How do you put in your email address in if the @ key brings up the fecking console?

LOL, wut?

" ` " brings the console not @

[dekstar]

No the @ key brings up the console for me too. I think it's due to your keyboard layout being British.

[Lucid]

Now that's damn weird... the @ key, in which you hold shift and then press 2... brings up the console.

Normally the tilde key brings up the console.

[Bakurei]

I'm so buying this game!

One thing I don't understand are people who are complaining that UT3 is like Quake... I mean wtf? Even the movement isnt' close to quake, these guys must have just tried Quake on PSX or something.

The walker on the DM map needs to be removed for smaller games. I mean with 24 players it's okay since it'll go down in like 1min but in smaller games it's going to be a problem (well atleast in clan wars I guess).

Todays word? Juggernaut! Juggernaught + Minigun = monster kill.

Ou has anyone else had any bugs with the minigun? Today I was using the minigun (with juggernaught of course), everything went fine till I ran out of ammo. The gun just kept playing the same sound, muzzleflash was coming out etc but of course no damage to other players.

[repiV]

When they complain it's like Quake, they probably mean in the sense that it's too fast for them and actually needs skill to play. :D

[Alig]

How do you put in your email address in if the @ key brings up the fecking console?

Had same problem, just dont put the @ there, type ur email without it. Thats what i did.

Game is good, buying this without a doubt when its released.

[MiccyNarc]

This is going to play awful on my 9600

[Cube]

All this talk over the new engine...

Sure, the graphics look new, but it doesn't feel "new"

It's just the same old stuff all over again...

I feel the same. If I do ever get it, it will be for the editor.

[h00dlum]

Was a huge fan of UT99 back in the day. But these new ones is not my cup of tea, way to fast phased. The graphics is not even that impressive, whats the point with incredible graphics when the game is so fast and chaotic you can barely see anyting anyhow?

Cos if they wasn't, people would make sure they had a good moan about it.

And what is 'impressive' graphics? The game isn't even out yet, and the BETA client has half sized textures to start...

[DEATH eVADER]

I thought the demo was, meh, but I think its because they've worn out the franchise. On a good note, the vehicle handling is a lot more better.

[Lucid]

On a good note, the vehicle handling is a lot more better.

I hate the insta-turning on all the ground vehicles now.
The Scorpion and Hellbender are a bitch to drive properly... maybe it's just the map but it's really hard to keep them in straight line or even zig-zagging without hitting walls or anything.

The Raptor handles a lot better though, same with the Manta.

[StardogChampion]

Had same problem, just dont put the @ there, type ur email without it. Thats what i did.

I typed my email into notepad, CTRL-C, then CTRL-V into UT3. It works.

[Hellrider]

Great...downloading at 50 kb\s, love my internet

[soulslicer]

you will love this game. It's so amazing. I can't believe my shit graphic card could even produce a scene like that. UE3 ROX!

I really hope the remake republic commando in this engine..



and yes if you are an nvidia cardholder (lol at my credit card joke), download the latest drivers, my fps jumped from 12 to 27 after installation

[Hellrider]

I downloaded the driver that fits for EP2 ..

[Somefool]

Have some delicious vehicle summoning codes:

summon UTGameContent.UTVehicle_"Name"

Cicada_content
Fury_content
Paladin
Nemesis
Darkwalker_content

[Lucid]

Have some delicious vehicle summoning codes:

summon UTGameContent.UTVehicle_"Name"

Cicada_content
Fury_content
Paladin
Nemesis
Darkwalker_content

Sweet those all work too.

The new Cicada looks sleek, it hasn't changed much though.
The Fury seems kinda've pointless, I think it's meant as a mobile defense turret.
The Paladin has a sexy new shield and look, the primary gun is the same.
And the Nemesis has to be the most useless aircraft I've ever seen, you have to get up close to enemies to even do any damage, and it does a hell of a lot of it too.
It's like a flying Darkwalker.

[soulslicer]

Thank you some fool. You are god..

[sea]

The game seems to play the same as Unreal Tournament 2004 with some minor changes to the movement speed, hit detection, etc., just to spice things up. The art style takes after the original Unreal more than anything else, which was quite a dark-looking game.

That said, it's nigh on unplayable for me. Even at lowest settings it looks worse than the first Tournament and doesn't get past 30 frames per second, even when I'm staring at a wall.

[Nemesis6]

Sea, your specs just for reference, please.

[soulslicer]

yes, I would like to know also. With a Geforce 7800gs, I am pretty surprised what I can see on my screen. The game looks perfect with AA (GPU AA).

BTW, the Dark Walker is F****** AWESOME! Oh my god. I just stared in awe as two walkers ai controlled walked by, the tentacles flailing and correctly well placed over obstacles, firing away their laser cannons at the tanks. My god, it was amazing. Amazing.

And last but not least, what happened to the leviathan??

[sea]

Sea, your specs just for reference, please.Pentium 4 @ 2.5GHz (sometimes overclocked to 3.0; I think I've been trying at the factory speed), ATI Radeon X700 Pro, 1024MB PC3200 RAM. I can run UT2004 fairly decently on highest settings, with framerates between about 40 and 90 depending on the map, number of players, etc..

[soulslicer]

that should just about cut the mark. I suggest you get the latest drivers. Then again, its ATI so I really dunno..

It runs like a bag of shit on my PC, which is an AMD64 3800+, X800pro and 2gb of PC3200 (man its been that long, i think this is right). I have it on lowest settings at 1024x768 resolution... I never expected it to look, or run well on my meh PC.

Its also a beta, it's going to run worse naturally. If you want to run UT3 as well as you can UT2004, you need to upgrade, seriously. Thats like having a PC able to run HL1 and wondering why it won't run HL2. Completely different games, on completely different engines, UT3 is not an addon to UT2004.

amazing. this is totally amazing. The Geforce 7800 GS has the exact goddamn same number of pixel shaders, vertex shaders, clock rate and memory + clock rate as the ATI RadX800 pro. It is suppose to run well..

Id say it be ATI drivers destroying you both

[Gray Fox]

Actually Alig, UT2007 should run pretty dammed on your machine. It's an extremely we optimized game.

[Hellrider]

It runs pretty smooth on 1024x768 both graphic options on 4..
Vehicle CTF is so ****ing fun!

[Nemesis6]

I don't know, I think deathmatch is much more intense and fun. There's really nothing like killing someone, turning, and for a split second seeing a plasma ball come right at ya and ending up as gibs, only to respawn again and repeat! :D

Well, i kinda didn't let on that i also have a very dodgey running computer. I'm using Vista + NF3 motherboard, nVidia being lazy as they are, never released Vista drivers for this chipset, as it is to old, which in turn means that the AGP slot is unable to initialise if i install ATI video drivers. But, it works, thats all that counts haha. I can't even turn my PC off, the wireless network card has about a 10% chance of starting because the motherboard is driver-less. Can't even revert back to XP, keyboard works for BIOS but not for 'press any key now' to boot from cd, and you can't install an older OS from within windows.. So yeah, i'm fooked :x

I know it's well optimized, Epic are an epic developing team :) With my PC working as should, i would expect it to work better, but i wouldn't expect it to look even near like it should (also there is talk that the demo has half size textures and this hasnt been talked down afaik)

Has there been any word on a damn patch to fix the ****ing server browser yet?! Jesus!

We can't properly beta test without a working server browser!

it functions ok besides the bugs lol

[Lucid]

???????????????????

Are we using the same browser?

I'm seeing pings ranging from 0 to 700, I can't filter anything properly, I'm seeing DM servers in the VCTF list, I'm seeing un-named servers, I can't join 90% of them.

****ing Gamespy, GET RID OF IT EPIC!

[sea]

You really expected to run it well? :rolling:No, I didn't. I haven't been able to comfortably play any game to come out in the last two years, except for the odd exceptions like Hitman: Blood Money. However, people seemed surprised that it didn't run well on my computer, so... there you go.

[Hellrider]

Yeah I have the same dumb server browser, though ive found 2 server I enter all the time (Multiplay.co.uk)..

Are you using a usb keyboard or the old stylee connectors ? I found that sometimes usb keyboards could do that and reverting to an older keyboard with the old style of connector meant key presses were registered in those circumstances. Just an idea anyways.

Intel Pentium 4 2.53 ghz, 1gb of PC2100 (:P), x850pro 256mb with 16 pipelines.

Runs like shit, looks like someone stepped on a pizza. I'm surprised that it ran though. It's pretty funny. Looks like a gameboy.

[Stigmata]

This game is shit. Same old mid-90's hyperactive shooter gameplay adding nothing new to the shooter scene aside from a technically impressive engine.

Your point being? It's the same game, that's a good thing.

[Stigmata]

My point being, I think UT3 is shit because it's the same game I bought ten years ago. I hold the same opinion of network sports games, Gran Turismo sequels, and so forth.

[Remus]

Same old mid-90's hyperactive shooter gameplay adding nothing new to the shooter scene aside from a technically impressive engine.

And that's exactly why I like it. You don't like it don't play it, end of story.

[Stigmata]

Sorry for expressing my opinion. :|

[DEATHMASTER]

Well Stig, this is how the Halo fans here feel...

[Agent.M]

Why do all games have to "create/add" something new all the time? If a game has a great fun formula why not just stick with it if people enjoy it (UT,BF,CS,Halo,TF,etc.)!? There are plenty of other games out there trying to "change/add" elements to the FPS genre. I for one am definitely getting this game because its UT dam it, its just a lot prettier UT and thats perfectly fine with me!

[Stigmata]

They don't have to add something new every time. They can stick to the same formula all they want, game after game. But I'm only paying for the same game once.

[DEATHMASTER]

It's far from the same...
